product description
The Eikendal Classique is subtly rich and powerful with full perfume flavours of blue and black fruits, earthiness and Cellar Master Nico Grobler’s signature freshness. It showcases a tightly woven, long and linear structure with fresh tannins.
The bottles of this special, particularly well-matured vintage have been expertly stored in the winery's wine cellar since bottling and have only recently been imported.
The wine has a long shelf life and can mature for a further 10 years if stored correctly.
